Product Overview
The LM22670MRX-ADJ is a high-efficiency 3A step-down (buck) switching regulator from Texas Instruments SIMPLE SWITCHER family. Operating from a wide 4.5V to 42V input range, this device delivers an adjustable output from 1.285V to 37V using voltage-mode control with internal compensation, minimizing external component count. The 500kHz default switching frequency can be adjusted from 200kHz to 1MHz or synchronized to an external clock. Packaged in a thermally-enhanced PSOP-8 with exposed PowerPAD, the LM22670 offers exceptional thermal performance for high-density point-of-load conversions in industrial, telecom, and automotive applications.
